This would definitely be a speculative project.... B)
In the early eighties Aereon Corp was awarded to two Department of-Defense SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH PROGRAM contracts for an "airborne surveillance platform". They filed two patents as a result of this research. The patents are for incorporating three large phased array antennas within the triangular hull of an LTA craft.

Looking at their web site you would think they hardly exist at all. But they are active enough to have a lead test flight engineer and are looking for more engineers:

So, is this the "giant black triangle" people have witnessed for years?
